Answer:

6 light years = 57 million km

Explanation:

Given;

A light year = 9.5 million km

To calculate how far is 6 light years;

6 light years = 6 × 1 light year = 6 × 9.5 million km

6 light years = 57 million km

Answer:

57 million kilometres

Explanation:

We are given that:

1 light year = 9.5 million kilometres

To get 6 light years, we simply multiply 6 by 9.5 million kilometres:

6 light years = 6 * 9.5 million= 57 million kilometres

St Bernard's star is 57 million kilometres away from the earth.

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

r = 5.08 m

Explanation:

The electric force of attraction or repulsion is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

We need to find how far above the electron would the proton have to be if you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above it.

So, the force from the proton is balanced by the mass of the electron.

\dfrac{kq_pq_e}{r^2}=mg

r is distance

r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq_pq_e}{mg}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8}} \\\\r=5.08\ m

So, proton have to be at a distance of 5.08 meters above the electron.

A car moves with a speed of 72 km/h for 15 minutes and then with a speed of 80 km/h for the next 12 minutes. The total distance
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The total distance covered by the car is 3,810.08 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the car, u = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s

initial time, t₁ = 15 minutes = 900 s

final speed of the car, v = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/s

final time, t₂ = 12 minutes = 720 s

The acceleration of the car is given as;

a = \frac{v-u}{t_2 -t_1} \\\\a = \frac{22.22-20}{900-720}\\\\a = 0.0123 \ m/s^2

The total distance covered by the car is given as;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

s is the total distance covered by the car

22.22² = 20² + 2(0.0123)s

22.22²  - 20² = 2(0.0123)s

93.728 = 0.0246s

s = 93.728 / 0.0246

s = 3,810.08 m

Therefore, the total distance covered by the car is 3,810.08 m
